The Anchor

There was silence in the room. Ethan then walked to the bathroom.

Listening to the water running, Amelia couldn't calm down.

She didn't know whether to ask him or not.

"Let it go. He will tell me if he wants to," she thought.

When she thought, Ethan walked out. He glanced at Amelia, who closed her eyes tightly. Ethan knew clearly that she was awake.

"Anything you want to ask me. You'll get sick if you keep it all in your heart."

He leaned against the headboard and reached out to fondle her face.

Amelia hesitated a moment with her fingers clutching the quilt tightly, and then she decided to ask her question.

"Since he puts it that way, and he knew I went to Chinchol Manor, I shall just ask him."

She opened her eyes and looked at the man carefully.

After the shower, there were still coldness and pride on his face, but it was milder.

Milder, but not as mild as when he was with Rosetta.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her in a daze, he expressed doubt. However, something changed in his eyes.

"Nothing. You knew I went to Chinchol Manor, right?"

Ethan checked the security cameras. He knew clearly what happened there, so they just need an opening dialogue.

"Yup. It wouldn't have happened if I had come home earlier."

Remorse and heartache flickered across his face.

Amelia didn't know what did he mean and wondered, "Come home earlier? Why not take me with you?

Is it because of the woman?"

"Okay, that's enough. I'll come home earlier. Now, you need to sleep."

"That's all? Why didn't he explain to me since he knew I saw that woman?

Should I continue my question?" Amelia thought.

Ethan tucked her in and lay beside her.

Somehow, the calmer he was, the more upset she was.

And Ethan knew what was in Amelia's mind, but he explained nothing. The night passed.

The morning sun shone on her face. When Amelia opened her eyes, the man beside her was gone.

Where was he?

Amelia washed up and went downstairs, and the breakfast was already served on the table.

"Breakfast is ready. And two cups of milk,"

Ethan said and walked to the table with two cups of milk in his hands.

"So early? Are you in a hurry?"

"Yup. You are going to the company with me."

Right. They talked about it, but Amelia didn't expect it was done so soon.

"Start from today?"

She was secretly pleased to know about it. Anyway, if they worked in the same company, she didn't have to worry about his private life.

However, Amelia then found herself weird. The reason why she was pleased should be that she was able to get close to Harper Group, but it wasn't.

"What are you thinking?"

She was pleased to hear what he said, but then, her expression changed.

Ethan looked at her curiously.

Amelia smiled and shook her head. The man noticed all her subtle expressions.

"I'm just trying to figure out how to fit in."

"Don't worry. You will have a mentor. And gradually, the cooperation will be handed over to you. At that time..."

Speaking of that, they looked at each other.

"Will it be so smooth? I wonder what Bella will do when she finds out."

She longed for such an opportunity to crush Bella, but she was also worried. She could trap herself in a dilemma in the opportunity. Amelia had no experience in negotiation.

Charles kept her from business, saying that she should concentrate on study.

Amelia thought she was Charles's little princess, but it turned out he treated her like a robber...

"Ask someone to help if you have no confidence in negotiations."

Help? She couldn't ask an outsider to do that. Who should she turn to for help?

After a moment, she looked up and saw Ethan who stared at her.

Him? Ethan sat opposite her. His eyes were full of pleasure.

"You mean you?"

"I'm here to help. Anything wrong?"

Everything was under his control, the cooperation with Harper Group and her opportunity. So he must have a plan for the next step.

"Okay, then help me. To take everything back, I will fully cooperate with you."

Ethan saw the firmness in her eyes. Something was rooted in his heart.

The car stopped at the company.

"Go inside. Someone will lead you in."

They entered the company.

Amelia walked as she checked the layout of the company. She thought Harper Group had an air of luxury, however, it was nothing compared to this company.

"Here we are. This is your office."

Ethan walked in. Mike looked at Amelia with a smile,

"Mrs. Frost, now it's yours."

It was the last office on the second floor. It was quiet around there, and the layout inside was also simple.

"You arranged it for me? Do you work in the human resources department?"

Amelia asked and looked around. The office was clean and had a perfect view.

Ethan hinted at Mike, and the latter walked to Amelia.

He said, "No, I don't. I'm the secretary of the president. Come to me if you need anything."

Amelia was shocked by his words. The secretary of the president was in a high position. Why would he help Ethan?

"Then... you are not in charge of new employees' induction, right? You guys..."

Ethan thought about concealing Mike's position. However, he had already done it to himself. He could use Mike as a shield when he needed.

"We are all old family friends of the president. So..."

Again, Mike didn't finish his sentence. He left it to her imagination.

"I see. That is to say, we have an anchor in the company. I don't have to worry about workplace bullying, right?"

Amelia wore a smile on her face and looked at them.

Mike coughed and nodded, and Ethan smiled.

"Workplace bullying? That's what she's worried about?

Thank god, she doesn't know the truth.

Or we will suffer," Mike thought.
